		REVIEWS & FEATURES
		Poetry to transport readers to sacred acts, patient landscapes and to Bollockshire and Bermudapest Richard King’s pleasure in his close reading of three strong collections Difficult decisions await judges of Best First Collection Roddy Lumsden encounters celtic bloodstains, exfoliate flitters, kerf, ullage and pikepoles Phrases of breathtaking accuracy demand re-reading Jane Griffiths’ admiration for four distinctive collections A poet you may want to know better Muriel Rukeyser Marilyn Hacker profiles one of the 20th Century’s germinal poets who courageously fused personal and political themes Ken Smith John Hartley Williams looks down the long pale corridor Reading poetry as fun, as entertainment Nigel Forde finds smiles, a few yawns and some shivers and laughs Is poetry in translation like cooking without salt? Todd Swift contrasts one book’s unintentional comedy of mannerisms with another book’s lighter than air, scapel-clean political poetry Poetry that gets in the blood Tony Roberts confesses his passion for the work of Robert Lowell Celebrating the many mixed blessings of Babel Kathryn Gray travels through anthologies from Russia, Ireland and Wales Revelling in illuminations of the quotidian Carrie Etter explores three intriguingly diverse American collections
